Note: Marvell purchased Intel's XScale group in 2006 resulting in this new position. I was in the same organization from 1996 - 2008.Symbian OS Architect: Scott delivered whole system board support software for the Symbian Operating System. Scott ensured the technical integrity and viability of the platform solution across the ingredient stack (internal and external) and the product lifecycle (from exploration to launch). Scott was asked by Marvell management to rekindle the Symbian OS initiative started at Intel in 2004. Multimedia Platform Architect: Scott developed audio accelerator architecture within an Arm V5 and V7 environment. Designs include data tunneling and abstraction of acceleration technology from the perspective of the operating system. Dealt with issues associated with latency, video synchronization, MMU and cache coherency, and issues in RTOS architecture. This role was a continuation of the role Scott started at Intel.

Scott Managed an international team located in the US, Finland, the UK, Israel, and China. Scott evaluated performance, recruited talent, and hired new employees.• Managed 11 direct reports & other contractors including Nokia, Symbian, Teleca, and others. • Led the creation of a Symbian OS ecosystem throughout the US and Europe.• A customer facing trusted advisor for design wins at Siemens, Nokia, RIM and others. Scott led Intel’s Personal Internet Client Architecture initiative for mobile audio platforms.• Created an audio architecture and ecosystem of audio device vendors supporting Intel’s audio architecture. Codeveloped Intel’s Dual Audio Architecture with silicon and handset vendors throughout the world. • Led as trusted advisor and Intel evangelist focused at vendors including Wolfson, National Semiconductor, AKM, and ST Micro resulting in a common architecture leading to design wins at Motorola, Symbol, Palm, BlackBerry, Panasonic, and Garman. • Firmware Architect for Intel’s XScale board level reference design called Zoar supporting AC97, I2S/I2C, and touch. Zoar was featured in the Wall Street Journal (front page in Europe) during the 2004 3GSM World Congress in Cannes.

Note: Intel purchased Digital Semiconductor and the StrongARM process in October of 1997 completing the transition in May of 1998. Smartphone Audio Architect. Scott and his colleagues defined a cellular audio architecture for Intel Cellular Reference Designs bridging the convergence from PDA's to smartphones and dealing with the dichotomy of application and communication processor needs.Windows CE Device Driver Developer and Team Leader:Scott developed Windows CE device drivers for ARM, StrongARM and XScale hardware including audio, keyboard, keypad, mouse, and Radio Interface Layer (RIL) subsystems. Scott also developed OS agnostic pre-OS and sub-OS firmware designed to reduce porting time to multiple OSs. Other Roles:After the move to Intel, it took a while for our team to get integrated into Intel. We eventually landed on the StrongARM / XScale team; however, we initially served several roles within Intel:Video Software / Server Team: Scott was a member of a diverse team that developed prototype video editing and video compression software. Intel Labs: Scott was a member of a team analyzed the feasibility of a mobile speech-centric handheld working closely with Dragon and L&H.
